PORTLAND,Dec. 81, 1886.
The wholesale market for Breadstuffs and Pro-
visions was very quiet to-day but values are firm
er in sympathy with the West, millers generally
asking from 10 to zoe advance on Flour. The Lon
don correspondent of the New York Financial
Chronicle says: "The wheat trade has become
somewhat quieter during the week, but has new
ertheless retained its firm features, and the re-
cent Improvement has been well supported. The
trade is evidently in sounder condition than it
has been for some time" Cable advices to-day
from London report both wheat and -four firm and
dearer. Provisions are stronger for Lard, which
is 1s to l4c higher. Cheese irmer but not quota
